The Ultimate Warrior Wants You To Buy Something

@wapostyle: sadly

Well I am sold!

@csl316: Go down to your local Petco, he should be working at the check-out.

Stop right there. You're saying that Warrior is in better shape today than he was in his prime?!

Christ, Warrior still looks like he could go!

So the Grim Reaper is worried about 2k game being released, I guess he has a lot of extra time on his hands.

@scottygrayskull: Say what you will about his mental status, the dude is in great shape. Especially for his age. He makes older wrestlers look bad, big time. Also, he wrestled not to long ago in Japan if I remember correctly, and while he did get gassed after 10 minutes or so, he still performed about as good as you'd remember he did (if you remember he did lol).

Ted Danson looks RIPPED

I can't help but wonder what Sting thinks of The Warrior's current haircut.

Move over Triple H.

You've got a new challenger for worst video game hair ever!

CULK COGAAAAAAN

Great trailer but the game looks like an up-res PS2 release.... except somehow worse.

@mikeydangelo: Another wrestler, The Renegade, whose character was basically supposed to be the next Ultimate Warrior, committed suicide in 1999.

He was probably gassed just from cutting that promo.

he's as intense and coherent as ever!!!! SNARL!!!!!!

Not gonna lie, that was pretty awesome.

The Iron Sheik ‏@the_ironsheik20h

Ultimate Warrior you are in new video game. you look worse than dead dog shit your lucky i dont beat the fuck out of you jabroni

Oh the memories...It is funny to hear the Ultimate Warrior's coke snort. I hope that is one of his power move.

I laughed way to hard when he backhanded that guy with the game case

I get that most folks (myself included) aren't thrilled about this reveal, but consider this: another WWE Quick Look...either way, we win.

aww the animation doesn't play =/

Does it REALLY need to?

@taig: ... how do I "like" this comment?

And he looks like an older version of the "blonde surfer boy" Sting...

From looking around the interwebs, Warrior filmed this in LA. WWE is in CT. I'm pretty sure he's not going to do any mo-cap work or anything. This commercial is probably it. And he likely made shit-ton of money.

I didn't know The Ultimate Warrior turned into Ron Pearlman.

Strange that the dude couldn't be arsed shaving for this commercial.

Also, nothing about that gameplay footage inspired me, but I guess I'll wait for the quick look to come around. :)

That was probably better than most of his interviews from back in the day. I don't know what's going on with the WWE these days, but I expect them to try to get the Warrior back into the fold after that.

Hmm... I thought it was weird when DDP legally changed his name to Dallas Page.

But I guess Ultimate Warrior is now legally known as Warrior.

HMM....

Fuck Warrior. Dude goes around asking anyone who is dark brown where their towel is, goin' around preaching about how queerin' don't make the world work, and changes his name to Warrior Warrior.

When someone gets that outright self-righteous to people that came to see him it is your duty as a citizen of opinion to stop paying attention.

People have told me not to look into a wrestler's eyes when they are in character, BUT HOW CAN I NOT DO THAT IN THIS COMMERCIAL???

Yikes that game looks like poo. Especially with new consoles coming out.

Right after he filmed this Vince fired him.

I guess that's why everyone still plays the decade old Fire Pro Wrestling...

When I think back to the Ultimate Warrior wrestling days, he always reminded me of a bad Conan the Barbarian caricature in the wrestling ring. And that was awesome. He should look less like he does in the game, and more like this.

this, oh god this...

I don't know if the game was sped up for effect, but it looks laughably bad.

Next game I wanna see Bastion Booger cutting a promo!

ASSUME THE CONTROLS was as far as I got into wrestling. There was something truly dark deep and sinister about that one. Somebody else though, right? Not some wanker shoving ppl. around and wanting money for it.

Nice reference to the never-ending "Ultimate Warrior died" rumors with the very first line here.

So now he's pimp slapping people with a box?

Looks like the game is using the Wrestling Legends engine that Jeff liked.

I figure this can't get posted enough in this article.

aww the animation doesn't play =/

Marketing for this game should just be UW showing up at every game site's offices dressed like that and saying crazy shit while waving the game's box around.

The trailer was pretty awesome. Too bad the game looks wretchedly bad.

Well, now I want the Iron Sheik to be added to the game

Wrestling games have such shitty graphics I wouldn't be surprised if that was PS4 footage haha

That character model looks terrible! Did they just take someones Smackdown vs Raw 2005 CaW and use that?

Warrior is not being a star here.

What the hell did I just watch?

@darkdragonmage99: dolla dolla bills y'all
